3 Ways Meditation Helps Productivity

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:

It's important to find balance to not only achieve inner peace, but be more productive and find a balance in our lives that doesn't come at the expense of time.

The average person spends at least 46.9 percent of their waking hours thinking about something other than what they're doing.

The practice of meditation has been shown to make the mind quieter and you more productive.

You can improve your productivity when your mind is at peace and that will only occur with tools like meditation and yoga. Meditation is a state of mind where you think about nothing. It has historical value and is considered to be a gateway of cosmic energy. It provides clarity in thoughts that result in a tension-free and blissful life. If you are completely relaxed and stress-free, then your mind will also work more effectively.

Here are 3 ways meditation helps make your life more productive.

1. Meditation Helps Calm the Storm Inside Your Mind

The average person spends at least 46.9 percent of their waking hours thinking about something other than what they're doing. Far too often we are physically present in a room with friends and family, but mentally we are nowhere to be found. According to a recent study, this mind-wandering has been directly correlated with decreased happiness. Try sitting and taking time to just be. Your productivity and overall happiness are at stake.

2. Meditation Helps Realign Your Mindfulness

We need mental breaks throughout the day to help give us break from analyzing and give us a chance to recharge. Even during sleep, to some degree, our mind goes on chattering, processing, and worrying. You don't always get a full rest through sleep or napping. When we give the mind a few minutes each day to "de-concentrate" to do the opposite of what we force it to do all day, then our mind comes back incredibly refreshed, rejuvenated, and with a new ability to focus intently.

3. Meditation Helps Relieve Stress

According to a new study in Psychoneuroendocrinology, just a little mindfulness training goes a long way, at least when it comes to quieting the mind in stressful situations. And for most people beginning a meditation practice, that’s not a bad place to start. It also helps a person learn to not get caught up in his or her thoughts, but instead simply to acknowledge them and let them go.

While it might seem strange to you, but meditation helps your productivity and wellness. Take a few minutes everyday to just relax, clear your mind, and concentrate on your breathing. It's simple, doesn't take up that much of your day, and has been shown to have substantial benefits in all kinds of ways.
